The noted Bollywood director and
music director Vishal Bhardwaj of path breaking films like Omkara,
Kaminey flew down to Kochi last week to meet “his favourite
actor” Mohanlal!
Vishal
met Mohanlal over lunch at Avenue Regency in Kochi where the shooting of
Rosshan Andrews Ivide Swargam Aanu was taking place.
Vishal,
a big fan of Lal ettan was bowled over by the star’s
humility. The Bollywood director wants him to be a part of his next film,
and gave a one line narration of the story.
After
a two hour meeting with the Malayalam superstar, Vishal flew back to
Mumbai by the evening flight with a satisfied smile on his face.
Sources
close to the actor confirmed that he loved the story and in all
probability will do the film which will start rolling some time in March
next year, if he is able to juggle his Malayalam commitments.
The
buzz is that it will be a multi starrer with Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka
Chopra in the lead with Mohanlal playing a pivotal role.
Let
us hope Lal ettan will do the film which will give him another
chance to impress the Bollywood audiences.

Cast Mohanlal, Santhanoo Bhagyaraj, Lalu Alex, Ambika
By Moviebuzz
Jayasurya directed Santhanoo Bhagyarajs debut film in Malayalam, along with Mohanlal as Angel John, is a treat for the family audiences. It is not only a breezy entertainer but is packaged well with sentiments, comedy, and action but also has a neat message.
Maradona (Santhanoo) is an aimless youngster who likes to waste his time doing practically nothing other than fooling around. For him everything in life is Oru Rasam (just fun) and wants to take the easy way out and lacks focus in his life.
He is the only son of Joseph (Lalu Alex) an Bank Manager and Mary (Ambika) who dotes on him. The only person who has a soft corner for him is the beautiful Sofia (Nithya) who has a limp and is the daughter of a failed filmmaker Kuruvila (Vijayaraghavan).
Maradona messes up his life by getting into company of friends and starting an internet caf that fails and to recoup his losses and attracted by easy money he gets into drugs. Soon he is conned and loses everything after pledging his house to a blade moneylender (Salim Kumar).
On hearing the news his father is hospitalized and his mother finally loses faith in him.A shattered Maradonna decides to commit suicide by jumping from a lighthouse into the sea. As he is about to jump, he is held back by a divine force in the form of Angel John (Mohanlal), who offers him a new lease of life.
The film works because of Jayasuryas script. More importantly the director plays up the message part of the film by highlighting the importance of hard work, dedication, ethics and sacrifice. Even Jagathys Khader Moosa comedy track has a message. Mohanlal as Angel John is top class as he blends his image perfectly with the character, while Santhanoo comes out with fine performance.
The supporting cast of Vijayaraghavan, Lalu Alex and new girl Nithya are all adequate. Though there are only two songs in the film, Ouseppachans background score is a winner. Towards the end, the script plods as it becomes predictable and sentimental. But you dont mind it simply because the characters have handled the scenes skilfully.
The last scene with Mohanlal and Salim Kumar is a scream. Go have your share of fun.
Angel John is a film which thoroughly entertains most filmgoers. Director S.L Puram Jayasurya after his debut film Speed Track with Dileep has harked back with his new offering, Angel John.
The film follows the story of a 21 year old naughty guy played by Santhanu who is the son of bank manager, John acted by Lalu Alex. The father always bad mouth his son which lets his vices divulge. Santanu is characterized by failure. He starts an internet café which conks out. Later he gets into a drug deal and crashes into great misery. These failures have made him decide to die. But some miracles happen. He gets an opportunity to choose from an ordinary life or another life with all his fantasies accomplished at the cost of two by third of his life.
Which will he choose and what happens to him is what make viewers follow the story. The story cannot be said to be groundbreaking but the mode of telling and the scenes
stands above expectation of audience.
Santhanu Bhagyaraj’s selection of Angel John as his debut Malayalam film is apt. He has space to perform and has justifiably portrayed the character. He carries the film in his shoulder almost till the end of first part. Santhanu proved to be the promising star for Malayalam industry.
Jagathy as popularity hunter provides a refreshingly new character; here he has something to do than essaying dialogues in the name of comedy and repeating his magnified mannerisms. Salim Kumar and Biju Kuttan have memorable roles. Baiju who appears as Karate master has done good comedy.
Entrant scenarist Manaf is dependable. Graphics are done quite well and camera is fine. Editing by Bijith Bala is innovative. Back ground score by Ouseppachan is apposite.
Mohanlal as Angel John brings all miracles.
Film gives message to audience; the director had taken due care of not preaching too much. The
visualization of first song is outstanding and will be a new experience for keralites.
Being a mass entertainer, nothing wrong can be said about the movie as the film achieves commercial success. This nicely packed film is a winner all the way.

Theatre Sreekumar Morning Show started before 10am Housefull ...with Fans Celebration ... Movie is pakka entertainer ...Lalettan as Usual Superb an extended cameo role ....
Max Lab has confirmed that their delayed Angel John in which Mohanlal makes a special appearance will release on October 22, Thursday in 78 screens across Kerala. The film has been censored with a clean ‘U’ certificate.
A sneak preview of the film was held at Four Frames theatre in Chennai on Sunday (Oct 18) for Bhaygaraj and Poornima. Remember the film is the launch pad of his son Santhanoo Bhyagaraj in Malayalam?
After the show Bhyagaraj said: “ All credit to director Jayasoorya and his racy script, the film is a delightful entertainer with a message.”
Those who saw the film are raving about it, as it has come out really well. Mohanlal who appears two minutes before interval point is the pivot around which the film revolves.
The on-screen chemistry between Mohanlal and Santhanoo and director Jayasoorya’s script is what makes the film tick.
Angel John is releasing on Oct 22nd thursady, in around 80 theaters all over Keral.
Jai Lalettan.

NEW DELHI:
Actor Mohanlal who broke the walls of reel life to become Lieutenant
Colonel, made his presence at the annual parade held to commensurate
the 60th birthday of the Territorial Army here on Monday, turning it a
proud moment for the Malayali community world over.Mohanlal,
along with his wife Suchitra, shared the gallery with Defence Minister
A K Antony, Army Chief Deepak Kapoor and other senior officers to
witness the parade of the Territorial Army, of which he is a part.
Mohanlal, who is also the brand ambassador of the Territorial Army,
said it was one of the best moments in his life - to be the part of the
Indian Army, which has been 'serving the nation altruistically.“
Being a part of this great institution is overwhelming.I
am extremely proud of this achievement and thankful for this honour.
Also, the Madras Regiment, to which I belong, has had a longstanding
relation with Kerala, since the time of the kingdom of Travancore”, he
told Express.
Marking the third decade of his indelible career on
screen, Mohanlal was bestowed with the rank of Honorary Lieutenant
Colonel in the Territorial Army for his roles in films like Keerthi
Chakra and Kurukshetra, which portrayed the real plight and vigour of
the army men who fight against all odds.He had shared the real
lives of the Army personnel in actual conflict zones, displaying his
passion for the Army and realistically portraying the penultimate,
fearless and duty-bound Army officer in these films.
The Indian
Military Academy had put him through a crash course on military
etiquette to prepare him for induction into the elite service.He had since been part of the Kerala-based 122 Infantry Battalion Madras (Kannur Terriers).“By
mid-December, I will join the battalion at Kannur and attend the
training sessions. Being a part of this great organisation, I will do
my level best to promote the sense of patriotism among the younger
generation. We also plan media interactions as part of the promotional
activities”, said Mohanlal.

India's rocket man
Prashanth G N, TOI Crest 3 October 2009, 05:58am IST
She packed my bags last night pre-flight Zero hour nine a.m. And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then I miss the earth so much I miss my wife It's
Nair says the ability to learn from failure is crucial — something Abdul Kalam taught him
lonely out in space On such a timeless flight -Elton John, Rocket man
For someone who took India to the moon, G Madhavan Nair has his feet firmly on the ground. "Vikram Sarabhai was very down to earth too,'' says the chairman of the Indian Space Research Organisation (Isro). He has just overseen India's first mission to the moon, but he wears this enormous achievement lightly. If you are looking for a Chandrayaan- propelled swagger, Nair is not the man.
"You know,'' he continues, not yet done on the subject of Sarabhai, "he never differentiated between big scientists and basic engineers. He would treat everyone like a friend. The unique thing about him was that he never hesitated to accept ideas from anyone or from any quarter. He would take ideas with equal ease from the very young and from those with a Ph.D. I believe Isro has imbibed what I'd like to call the Sarabhai culture. If Isro has seen success today, we
owe it all to that culture.''
He doesn't forget to mention the other ignited mind, Dr APJ Kalam, either. "He was a leader and a leader should have vision and conviction that the vision would happen. The ability to learn from failure is crucial. That's something I picked up from Dr Kalam. If there's failure , the leader should own up, but if there's success, the credit should go to the team."
And the question all scientists are asked: Is he a man of god? There is a lot of science in him, but is there spirituality? "I think there is a spirit embedded in everyone,'' he says. "The feeling is that everything in a given situation can't be explained by a physical or chemical process, that there is something beyond our comprehension despite doing everything humanly possible. That arena is what we call destiny - sacred forces that define your destiny. At least that's how I can explain and understand the turning points of my life."
Nair
says he offers prayers, but is not religious . "You could say I'm spiritual," he says. "Prayers bring me a certain peace. Prayers help see you through conflicting situations and handle critical problems. I visit temples but not too often. I go to Guruvayur and I sometimes visit Tirupati and Sabarimala."
The serious stuff, though, as Isro head and secretary, Department of Space, is for the workplace . At home, he would rather leaf through a P G Wodehouse or Madhava Kutty. And the hype over Arvind Adiga's The White Tiger and Khaled Hosseini's The Kite Runner haven't left him untouched. "I've been reading those,'' he says. "However, I have to keep abreast of the latest technological developments as technology happens to be my field. I read up on matters like spacecraft or inter-planetary explorations. '' At one point, Nair did read J Krishnamurti and Vedic literature. "I was influenced a bit, but that was a phase."
And film? Nair says he
adores Adoor Gopalakrishnan. "He has fantastic imagination. His movies are an art form. I like Mohan Lal (the actor) for entertainment. He can be humorous and he can portray emotions well. He also depicts local characters very well. He, sort of, puts you at ease, relaxes you. And the best thing about him is his own face - it's always bubbling with joy.'' He, however, steers clear of the Mohan Lal versus Mamootty debate. "They each have their own place."
Nair isn't very fussy about food - he just doesn't have the time to be - but he "loves'' a traditional Kerala vegetarian meal. "I love avial, and then what we call kalan and olan. Even ada pradhaman (a kind of rice-based kheer) is delightful . I love the southern Kerala feast on banana leaf. They offer four types of sweets and though my doctor has told me to take care of diabetes, BP and all that, I don't let go when there's a good meal. I enjoy chicken too.
When I'm away in Europe or US, I am comfortable with continental food."
The biggest constraint for Nair is time. The Isro chairman is indeed a busy man. He's away from Bangalore almost 15 days every month, touring Isro centres all over the country, monitoring work spots and ensuring all related institutions are working.
It's no wonder then that his wife Radha Kumari says she's not his first love. "Work is his first wife, I am his second," she says, smiling indulgently. "We don't get to spend too much time with each other. He's out most of the time, you see.''
Not to be outdone, Nair pipes up cheekily that this is exactly the secret of their "long-lasting' ' marriage from which they have two children , Dileepan and Jayakrishnan, both engineers . In fact, even daughter-in- law Meena is an engineer.
"We've been married for 42 years now,'' Nair says, letting a broad smile sweep across his face. "We were neighbours. You can
say it was a lovecum-arranged marriage.''
